Just went and looked at and bought the 45-70. Since Im out of state, they have to ship it to a VA FFL, so its going directly to a gunsmith to address the length of pull, trigger pull and sights, but man, for that price, you cant beat it for beating around the swamp and its a good looking piece. I got several Rugers and Savages and Marlins [and others, for that matter] that dont look any better out of the box. Can not wait to bust a cap out of this thing!
